AMD Ryzen 9 3800X

It is hard to determine whether this is a leak or just a placeholder for attention, the timing seems quite interesting, considering we are just days away from CES 2019 Keynote where Zen2 is expected to be announced.

The Ryzen 9 3800X would feature 16 cores and 32 threads, twice as many as current Ryzen 7 2700X mainstream flagship. The CPU is listed with 125W TDP, which is 20W more than 2700X.

Probably the most interesting bit of information is the clock speed. According to retailer’s information, Ryzen 9 3800X would boost up to 4.7 GHz, 400 MHz higher than 2700X.

This Zen2-based CPU will be AMD’s first 7nm mainstream desktop processor.
